Man killed: angry villagers want justice

[admin]

Villagers of San Pedro, Rio Claro, are saying that the shooting of 52-year-old George Ashby on Friday night was a case of mistaken identity.

Rio Claro police said yesterday a gun was found in the vehicle which Ashby was driving.

The shooting has angered villagers who are calling for an enquiry into the matter "not by police officers but by a judge in the High court".

"We want justice, not police smokescreen," said Ashby's mother, Lucy Ashby.

She said the police have done a grave injustice not only to Ashby's family, but to law-abiding people living in a small and peaceful community.

She said relatives were intimidated by the police when they went to make enquiries about the shooting.

Ashby, a groundsman attached to Tabaquite Comprehensive School, was allegedly shot by police around 7.30 p.m. on Friday. (See Page 13)

He died on the spot after three bullets were pumped into his chest.

Ashby was returning to his home at San Pedro in a white car when police intercepted the car and allegedly shot him.

Marvin Fuentes, a villager, said Ashby was at a cook-out at the Tabaquite school between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. and was on his way home when he was shot.

An eyewitness to the incident told the Sunday Express yesterday that he saw a police officer drag the body into a police car.

Police said they found a grass-cutting machine, commonly known as a "wacker", in Ashby's car.

A post-mortem will be carried out tomorrow.

Meanwhile, police are continuing their investigations into what the villagers are calling "cold-blooded murder".

This is totally crazyness i know this man and he was into nothing like this. The police said they found a gun is his car as stated above, so if just saying their was a gun in his car that mean he did not had it in his had while the police shit him dead.
Wtf is going on here the police is really getting out of control omg man i know this man, now i have to go wake so some who was killed but the "SO CALLED PEOPLE WHO ARE THEIR TO SERVE AND PROTECT"

Right now i can be certain that most of the police are into criminal activities, they are just shooting people, with out any warning and planting stuff in people's house's saying they have drugs and guns.
Gug the people are really getting out of hand and nothing is been done to stop or control this.
Na man this is too much man wtf

Well the police did a good job covering up this story to the public but the villagers who personally know him would not believe this story....The police misindentify this man for someone else ... However the police twisted the story to make everyone believe them but they can't fool the people who exactly know him...
